I think that's about right. Arguably Okolie should be in the green category - as much as he's ugly to watch, he hasn't had a scare yet.
Benn and Okolie are glass waiting to be shattered when they step up. Callum Smith is by far the best fighter he's got right now who never looks in any danger in a fight.
Imagine if Whyte loses against rivas. Haha it’ll be hilarious. It has shades of Joshua v Ruiz, Rivas is unknown and we’re expecting Whyte to roll him over on another PPV Pudding. Me thinks Al Haymon will be making a phone call to Rivas in the same way he did with Ruiz before taking out another Matchroom Hype Job. Hearn has made powerful enemies in America
I decided to leave her yellow because Benn, Kelly and Yafai have also arguably lost and been given gifts
Harsh to call Fitz a Matchroom hype job. He never really had any promotion properly till the Fowler fight. Fowler was the Matchroom hype job. I’d also put Fitz in the yellow. He can be beaten, probably by himself by not training properly.
I'm not calling them all hypejobs, simply that they are on the Matchroom hypetrain. A lot of the fighters in Green deserve to be hyped and are not "hype jobs".
Benn is 100% a hype job and has done nothing to deserve the big billing he gets. There are loads of good welters who would beat him. Kelly has undoubted talent but isnt what he is made out to be -- we can see why he swerved Avensyan!
Personally never rated Whyte highly. Game and has a great left hook but chinny and lacking stamina. Not great technically or as big as some of the top guys. Rivas can bang. Wouldn't be surprised if Rivas got the job done. I think it'll be an entertaining watch either way.
